Repairs have begun after a recent fire at the Budget Lodge in Clarendon.

The fire broke out around 10:15 p.m. Thursday with response from volunteer firefighters from Sheffield, Cherry Grove, Pleasant Township and Ludlow as well as Warren city firefighters. Terry Gregerson, Clarendon volunteer fire chief, told Erie News Now the fire started in the back of the building, possibly due to a hot water tank issue. Two rooms were damaged, but no injuries reported.

A Facebook post by the Palestinian Orthodox Church of America thanked firefighters for their quick response.

“We extend our sincerest gratitude to the Warren County firefighters who responded promptly to extinguish the structure fire at our lodge,” the POCA Youth Association wrote on Friday. “Their swift and professional actions prevented a total loss of property. We appreciate the efforts of Clarendon volunteer firefighters, Sheffield volunteer firefighters, Pleasant Township volunteer firefighters, and the City of Warren Fire Department. Thank you.”

The building includes a chapel, monastery and food pantry.
